Default Moving body holes

I searched and didn't find anything useful, but perhaps I used bad keywords.

Does anyone have any tips or product suggestions if I want to move the holes on a lexan body? I'm hoping there is something I can use that will dry clear, that I can go back and paint over/under to sorta match the body.

I don't expect perfect results but I'm not having success gluing a new pieces inside the holes ... but maybe that is my only option. Actually I think I have some glue that will work but I can't seem to cut out a perfect circle to fill it. Maybe I need to go back to 1st grade.

Put a piece of "scotch tape" on top of the holeand press it on there good, then use Shoo Goo on the underside. Dont put too much on there though. Paint and it should look better than a hole. Worst comes to worst cover it with a sticker

Shoo Goo works ok if you're careful. Once it's totally dry you paint over it again. You'll still be able to see it (how much depends on the color) but it looks better than leaving the extra holes.

I'm running a jet black Brat right now - I covered two extra holes when I changed the body mounting with pieces of black electrical tape. You really have to look for it, I was amazed how camoflaged it was...
